[quote=Anonymous]We have friends in 6K sq ft new builds/expansions and agree that they feel kind of cavernous inside because not many families with little kids are splashing out on perfect interior design and furnishing (esp. if the house was a financial reach already). Have the 'surprised' people driven through Vienna recently? Eventually every old house in these zip codes will be replaced, and developers are incentivized to build the largest possible house on the lot. We lived in a little brick rambler in Falls Church when we first came to the area and it had not been well-maintained; even if we could live with the basic footprint and just wanted to make some updates, it would have been 100s of thousands just to bring electrical, plumbing, insulation, and exterior grading up to modern standards. The house also had almost no closet space, which isn't something easily remodeled when square footage is already limited.[/quote]
